Proverbs 12:11-18

¹¹He who tilleth his own land shall be satisfied with bread; But he who followeth worthless persons is void of understanding.

¹²The wicked man longeth after the prey of evil-doers; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³In the transgression of the lips is a dangerous snare; But the righteous man shall escape from trouble.

¹⁴By the fruit of a man's mouth he shall be filled with good, And the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that hearkeneth to counsel is wise.

¹⁶A fool's wrath is instantly known; But he that hideth insult is wise.

¹⁷He that speaketh truth testifieth what is right; But a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸There is who babbleth like the piercing of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
